Troy, s. c., Sept. 26, 1887.
On Tuesday evening last, the young people
OF this place assembled at the residence ol
Mrs ]. +. Solomons for the purpoS" of having
Il musical Soirec. It was Qutea success, ana
we hope to have another soon. ,,.

Mrs. Culbertson will have a grand millinery
opening on the 2Sth of this month.
Since Prof Smiths lecture. the young men

The young people will meet this evening 10

much enjoyed and appreciated By all VINO

Mrs. Green and children have returned 10
Augusta, and Maj. Glover seems lost since lit
tie Joe and Mrs GlorerS baby. nave gone.
At Il meeting OF the Troy Social Club held
ast week. it was decided TO give their usual
annual enterl anment about October 2nih.
rhe play selected is "Enoch Arden; or The
Wanderers Return" The characters have
been Splendidy assigned. and the former
reputation of the club will doubtless be up
held. =,
One of our young men must be very cold
hearted, judging from the protection he gives
his left side. His motto is keep your lines
crossed, even though the buggy breaks"
The girls Of this place have primitive, but
rather unique style OF riding.
Cotton Is coming in very rapidly, four nun.
dred and fifty bales having been received
here up to date. Our market closed iirm on
saturday evening. the prices paid being Ns
and lilo. Our cotton buyers have been pay
ing good prices for the staple, and have con
WINGED our farmers that Troy is the place to
sell their cotton and make their purchases.
MIR. j. W. Dacus, of Anderson is here pay
ing more for cotton than can be obtained In
any other town in the county.

Ing over his leg just below the knee and
breaking IL in two places. DrS. Culbcrlson
and Nell rendered the necessary medical at
tention and the unfortunate little fellow Is
doing as we'll as can be expected
Many of the Trojans will doubtless avail
themselves Of the cheap rates Offered TO the
Atlanta Exposition next month.
President and Mrs. Cleveland are not en-
pected TO visit Troy during their tour through
the south next month. The reason, we sup.
pose is, that our city fathers have not sent
them an invitation. The Trojans, will, how
ever, give him their hearty support for an
other term.
We are glad to know that your I.owndcs-
vile correspondent understands what is
